My dog had a tummy bug. Can I restart her joint supplement now?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old | 7 lbs

Tootsie is recovering from a tummy bug. We just started re-introducing the kibble to her bland diet this morning (which went well). She has a luxating patella that we have been giving her Missing Link joint supplement for. We have been skipping the supplement while she's been recovering but can we re-introduce it now that we've started her kibble again? Her knee bothered her this morning which made me want to ask an expert!

I’m glad Tootsie is feeling better! It should be fine to begin giving the supplement again as long as it has never upset her tummy in the past. I hope she continues to feel better and please feel free to post any additional questions.
